ICPC files criminal case against Mike Ozekhome over UK property

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has filed a three-count criminal charge against senior lawyer Mike Ozekhome over an alleged fraudulent attempt to acquire a property in the United Kingdom.​ The case is linked to a London property located at 79 Randall Avenue, Neasden, London NW2, which was the subject of a 2025 judgment by the UK First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). The tribunal described the move to transfer the property to Ozekhome as being built on a network of fraud, impersonation and forged documents.​ According to court documents, prosecutors allege that Ozekhome received the London house in or around August 2021 from a man identified as Shani Tali, knowing that the transfer amounted to a felony. The alleged offence is said to contravene Section 13 and is punishable under Section 24 of the Corrupt Practices and Other […]

Dangote threatens N100bn suit over ‘unclean business’ claim

President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has given Kaduna based businessman Kailani Mohammed a seven day ultimatum to retract alleged defamatory statements against him or face a N100 billion lawsuit. In a letter sent through his lawyer, Ogwu James Onoja (SAN), Dangote demanded a public explanation, retraction and unreserved apology over remarks made during a Trust TV interview.​ Mohammed had questioned the source of Dangote’s wealth and claimed he engaged in “unclean business” in Port Harcourt in the 1980s.

The letter stated that the remarks portrayed him as a corrupt businessman who built […]

The Nigerian oil and gas industry has been thrown into uncertainty following the resignation of the chief executives of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, NUPRC, Engr Gbenga Komolafe, and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, Engr Farouk Ahmed.

Farouk Ahmed’s exit follows his recent clash with industrialist Aliko Dangote, who petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, over alleged misconduct.

Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

FG rejects US report on lack of transparency in procurement

The Federal Government has dismissed a report by the United States Department of State alleging that Nigeria lacks transparency in its public procurement process. The 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report had listed Nigeria among 32 African countries said to have made little or no progress in the fiscal policy space. While acknowledging that Nigeria had improved in publishing budget documents and debt obligations, the report faulted the country for failing to disclose information on public procurement contracts. It also criticised the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for not publishing comprehensive audit reports, citing weak institutional independence as a major setback. The report recommended that Nigeria should strengthen the independence of its supreme audit institution, make procurement information easily accessible, and publish timely audit reports of executed budgets. Out of 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority assessed, the report found […]
